entry description
My series "Yucca" is a study of White Sands, New Mexico through color infrared photography. The resulting color rendering appears unnatural to the human eye, yet also reveals an otherwise hidden sublime as the yucca leaves appear vibrant red in sharp contrast to the white gypsum grains and turquoise sky. High-contrast black and white images complement the infrared images by presenting a more classical rendition that also serves as spacing between the electric colors.about the photographer
I make images that attempt to infuse the wonder of natural and urban landscapes with the emotional intensity of dreams. My work is eclectic, but I pay the most attention to shape, color, and composition, with an emphasis on themes of individuality and identity.back to gallery
